Isotopic analysis of human remains from sites in the Iron Gates section of the Lower Danube Valley has led to conflicting interpretations of Mesolithic diets in this key region of southeast Europe. One view (Bonsall et al. 1997, 2004) is that diets were based mainly on riverine resources throughout the Mesolithic. A competing hypothesis (Nehlich et al. 2010) argues that Mesolithic diets were more varied with at least one Early Mesolithic site showing an emphasis on terrestrial resources, and riverine resources only becoming dominant in the Later Mesolithic. The present article revisits this issue, discussing the stable isotope data in relation to archaeozoological and radiocarbon evidence.

Using the δ15N values as an indicator of the percentage of freshwater protein in the human diet, the 14C data for 24 skeletons from the site of Lepenski Vir were corrected for this reservoir effect. The results of the paired 14C and stable isotope measurements provide evidence of substantial dietary change over the period from about 9000 BP to about 300 BP. The data from the Early Mesolithic to the Chalcolithic are consistent with a 2-component dietary system, where the linear plot of isotopic values reflects mixing between the 2 end-members to differing degrees. Typically, the individuals of Mesolithic age have much heavier δ15N signals and slightly heavier δ13C, whi...

Previously explored and currently submerged sites located along the Danube Gorges’ riverbanks represent only a fraction of the regional early Holocene hunter-gatherers’ settlement network. Based on previous studies of stratified archaeological sites, there appear to be gaps in the record of human occupation during the early and middle Holocene in the region, which has sparked questions about the cause of such chronological discontinuities. Our study included a geoarchaeological assessment of the Holocene and terminal Pleistocene alluvial stratigraphy at a newly recorded site on the Danube River. Results of the investigation allow us to address the temporal and spatial patterns of recorded archaeological sites and consider geomorphic processes that have shaped that record.
Our findings also provide a more reliable framework for understanding Mesolithic hunter-gatherer land-use in the Iron Gates region.
